Enterprise Search and Bing Services – Part 1: The Bing Translatorhttp://blogs.msdn.com/b/enterprisesearch/archive/2009/09/22/enterprise-search-and-bing-services-part-1-the-bing-translator.aspx(In May of this year, Microsoft launched its Bing search service for the Web. While Bing has shown steady growth in the Web search market, it’s not well known that Bing also includes a collection of services that can be accessed programmatically to enhanceen-USTelligent Evolution Platform Developer Build (Build: 5.6.50428.7875)re: Enterprise Search and Bing Services – Part 1: The Bing Translatorhttp://blogs.msdn.com/b/enterprisesearch/archive/2009/09/22/enterprise-search-and-bing-services-part-1-the-bing-translator.aspx#10039557Sun, 18 Jul 2010 12:38:19 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:10039557Jack Torse<p>I wonder what happens when a word translates into two or more different words in a different language. &nbsp;How does the translator know which word to use in the translated query?</p>

Compared to Google it was pretty much the same, which is quite good, considering that Slovenian language isn't easy language.</p>

<p>(Apologies for the very delayed response. We had some issues with comment notification.) </p>
<p>You are right that this approach isn't suitable for all applications. The question came in through the LinkedIn ES group about whether this translator service will be available as on-premise installable software - to address both security concerns and performance. The answer, for the moment, is that there are no immediate plans, but the translator team is weighing the demands for providing the software this way and if, interest is high enough, may consider creating such a package. </p>
<p>In the mean time, you are correct that app developers should weigh the value of this feature against performance requirements. Using an &quot;opt-in&quot; or on-demand approach as you describe, is wise. </p>

For a point of service search application this seems like a bad idea.</p>
<p>The translation should be tops quarter second imo, so with a timeout and caching it still might work ;)</p>
<p>Hence I'm leaning more towards a manual translation of hits in the UI, where it's easier to justify a delay.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=9898833" width="1" height="1">
